Hi Guys,

I am currently putting together a watercooling setup for my rig.

I have narrowed a few things down to what I want: -

cpu cooler - D-Tek Fuzion

Rad - Thermochill PA120.3 'is this too big to fit inside my case'

Pump - 'no idea yet' but want something as quiet as possible
Also can someone tell me why some pumps have water tanks on top

Fans - I will research these when I have decided on everything else

Reservoir - would like a one that fits in a 5.25 bay ????

The general consensus seems to be 1/2" tubing

I am a total noob to watercooling so any help would be much appreciated
Budget of about £250.00

When you say modding my case I assume you mean dremelling 3 fan holes in the top of the case

I will go and check out the rest of the stuff and get back to you

I don't think you'll easily get a 120.3 into an Eclipse. I've a 120.2 in the top of mine and it's very close to the PSU and I've lost the top two 5.25" bays. You could get a 120.3 in the bottom but you'll have to remove the five 3.5" bays, or do some serious hacking at them.

Yeh, I've got a 120.2 in the top of mine as well.. Space is a bit tight so its doubtful a 120.3 will fit! However the .2 is doing me just fine in there.. :)
